I'll venture to guess that you know very little about firearms and ordinance. I bought it off the shelf at the army surplus store. A 40mm grenade is very similar to a large shotgun shell and from this faint blue paint I would imagine it was a practice round so there's no danger of fragmentation.

You need a howizter to launch those shells. If you have an AT-4 tube, you can shoot down the ISS.

Aren't AT-4's unguided? You'd have to be a terrific farking shot to hit the ISS with one of those.

I generally don't keep up with war-porn, but I can't tell if this is an in-joke or something. According to the Wikipedia entry they are sight-shot and have an effective and maximum range of 200 and 2100m respectively..

It is not yet certain whether the 120-millimetre tank shells were live bombs, with the MOD adding it was hard to discern from the photo.'I was with somebody who used to be in the Army and he said that because their ends were intact, they were unexploded,' the woman who took the photo added. ===================Here's a clue: If they're exploded, there are a LOT more pieces, but not as big.

Well that, and it's just an empty tube. I think there was an article a while back where someone turned in a fired tube (which is pretty much now just a hunk of fiberglass and plastic) and the police agency was all like "peoples turning in the rockets! OMGs!" You can buy the empty tubes for around $200(?) at many surplus stores. They arn't reusuable.

And they only way you'd hit the ISS with one, is if you were floating right outside it.

I dated a guy from Vietnam a long time ago. He told me a story of how he and his friends found a landmine when they were about 7. His friend decided to hit it with a hammer. It did not end well. My ex-bf had to hold in his guts and his friend was all in and around a tree. War is horrible.
